Locals have successfully fought off a bottle store proposed for a “deprived” Christchurch neighbourhood, despite no opposition from police, the medical office of health, and licensing inspector.

The Christchurch District Licensing Committee has refused a liquor licence application for a Hornby store from two taxi drivers under the company name JJMS Enterprises Ltd.

Local residents told the committee at a hearing last month that granting the licence would worsen problems of high deprivation and alcohol harm in the area.

The committee, which released its decision on Monday, agreed with them.

Zhang Wang’s vegetable garden destroyed on Monday when her landlord, Ōtautahi Community Housing Trust (ŌCHT), removed it without warning.

It said neighbours had raised concerns about the size of the garden and access to a washing line.

Wang had lovingly tended the garden at her Addington social housing unit for the past 10 years. She grew 14 kinds of vegetables and 13 varieties of rare Chinese herbs. One small patch of Chinese radish remains.

ŌCHT has “unreservedly apologised” for not telling Wang it planned to bring the digger in on Monday, but it stands by its decision to turn the garden into grass.

However, on Wednesday, ŌCHT tenancy operations manager Martin Pearce said the trust wanted to make things right and raised beds would be installed at the end of this week.

Four thousand primary children perform physical jerks at Lancaster Park, on April 10, 1940.
Here the girls go through their drills, demonstrating surprising precision for so many pupils from so many schools. The open-air movement has highlighted the need for physical fitness training and the virtues of outdoor activity. Schools have responded with regular drill sessions and outdoor games. With increasing numbers of children seen to be destined for sedentary lifestyles, and with the British Empire at war with the Axis forces, fitness and hardiness are being strongly promoted.

Hi neighbours,
Cleaning your windows should be a regular routine as having a build-up of dirt and other filth can lead to problems further down the road and potentially cost you more money, and heat efficiency.

You can keep your new windows looking their best for many years by following a few simple tips:
- Vacuum inside the frame and hinges
- Brush off dirt
- Use a warm soapy solution and a soft cloth or sponge to wipe down the dirty window
- Rinse with clean water

Windows have working parts so it's essential that these parts are well maintained to ease the friction of the moving parts inside your window frames.

To keep your windows in great condition for years it's best to keep the inner chambers of your windows clean and clear of built-up residue.

If you need an expert to assess your windows & doors, give us a call today on 0800 252500 or click the link to book a visit!
